While substantiating his own remarks, Ramesh Bidhuri further pointed out that Lalu Prasad Yadav once said that he would turn Bihar's roads as smooth as Hema Malini's cheeks. "If today they (Congress) feel pained by the statement, then what about Hema ji? She has been a renowned heroine and has brought glory to India through films...If Lalu's statements are wrong, then his statement will also be wrong," said Ramesh Bidhuri.
"Isn't Hema Malini a woman? Hema Malini is far superior to Priyanka Gandhi, when it comes to achievements in life," he further said.
Bidhuri is BJP's pick from Kalkaji constituency for Delhi assembly elections. He is pitted against Delhi chief minister Atishi and Congress' Alka Lamba in a three cornered battle.
